Last night I dreamed we was running through the outlands Tears streaming, your pretty face all a wreck I held your daddy's gun in my trembling hands And down the highway another stranger comes You gotta take 'em baby when they come
Little girl put on your best dress 'Cause we're going out on the town tonight Better bring along your switchblade 'Cause for sure some fool's gonna wanna fight You've got to take 'em baby as they come
You gotta take 'em, take 'em as they come, girl Take 'em as they come, girl Take 'em as they come, girl Take 'em baby as they come
But God save the rider in the black night Save the man who taught that it was right To do what they have done, girl To become what we have become You gotta take 'em baby when they come
Little girl, gone are the days Faded away into a clear blue night And all the vows that we made Lie shattered and broken in the morning light You gotta take 'em baby when they come
You gotta take 'em, take 'em as they come, girl Take 'em as they come, girl Take 'em as they come, girl Take 'em baby as they come
I know your heart is breaking I can feel it too, girl Though my finger on the trigger's shaking Here I swear to you, girl If I could take all your sorrow So that you'd never cry, girl, or be blue Come tomorrow, girl What I'd do for you, little one I swear I'll take 'em baby when they come
(take 'em) , take 'em as they come, girl Take 'em as they come, girl Take 'em as they come, girl Take 'em baby as they come
(take 'em) , take 'em as they come, girl Take 'em as they come, girl Take 'em as they come, girl Take 'em baby as they come Take 'em baby as they come Take 'em baby as they come Take 'em baby as they come Take 'em baby as they come
